THE FOUNDING TEAM

Pastors Gerry and Marilyn Hartman
The Hartmans are a bicultural, blended family with six children between the ages of 23 to 30, one daughter in law, one grandchild, and three grandoggies. They are able to face their daily challenges, overcome their fears, and have hope for the future (and their children's futures) because of their personal relationship with God. The Hartmans desire that the people in Bethlehem experience the joy and hope that comes from an encounter with God. El Shaddai Ministries provides you with that opportunity.

Edgar and Yadira Castanon
The Castanons came from Guatemala in 2002 because of the Lord's call on their lives. As part of the El Shaddai Bethlehem Ministries family, they are committed to the vision and the challenge to see the city of Bethlehem transformed. The Castanons are sure that there is hope for a better future for our lives, our families, our community and our nation. They pray for you and for this city.
